new color caused TARDIS effect!
Chai Latte. A shade of green. That's the new color of my bedroom. Wow. Just....wow. It was long overdue for a paint job. I knew that. But...wow. The room looks so much cleaner, lighter, and bigger. It boggles my mind how just a simple color change can do that to a room.
The whole process took almost all day by myself. I moved out a lot of stuff and taped off most of the trim. I got sick of taping off and so I didn't do the mop boards completely. I have a good edging brush that I was careful with for cutting in. I primed it first with stain blocking primer since I was covering up a dark tan color. Sort of the color of coffee with lots of creamer in it. I still have a couple items to bring back in here but the big stuff is back.
I ended up sleeping terribly because of all the work. From working over my head cutting in etc. I got a sore neck and shoulders. Took most of today to work that stiffness off and I'm better now. Next up is the living room. I am pretty sure I know what color to do it in but I'm going to look at paint chips again perhaps this evening to make sure that's what I want.
Been making a few Xmas ornaments with my embroidery machine. Why? Just because I can. It was a free download from my favorite machine embroidery site called Urban Threads. I'm generally not a cutesy teddy bears etc. type person and this site has some edgy stuff, some beautiful stuff, and yes a bit of cutesy although it is different cutesy. First time I've made any sort of "lace" type designs with my machine. Pretty cool. I gotta say it's quite fun!
Speaking of which, I better get on the stick and get my Xmas cards finished and outta here! Time's a wastin'!
